I have this idea that the singularity inside a blackhole is a tiny point in space with almost uniform energy distribution. From the perspective of the tiny space, it is not tiny at all, and could actually look like a big bang locally. Is th

I noticed that in the winter, eating mostly fruits would cause a “crash” about ~30mins-1h after my fruity meal (but dang I had a lot of energy during that time). When I ate potatoes, spaghetti, I would have a longer span of energy.

Same reaction for me earlier, and I didn’t have the time to look into it and had it on my mind since then. Should the title have “[not about pollutants]”?
